Background: The advances in cytogenetic techniques during the last few years have permitted not only the study of large populations of wild and domestic animals, but also the detection of chromosome anomalies in embryos. Chromosomal abnormalities are the most common cause of embryonic and fetal mortality in mammals. Most reports of chromosome anomalies in parthenogenetic embryos describe numeri...

Mechanical behavior of the Space Shuttle redesigned solid rocket motor (RSRM) propellant is studied from a phenomenological point of view. Motivated by the study of the experimental data three initially isotropic constitutive models have been developed. All models represent the e ect of strain rate, superimposed hydrostatic pressure, and cyclic loading on the stress and dilatation response of t...

The size and length effects of an inclusion on multi-pass copper shaped-wire drawing were investigated. For this purpose, an experimental investigation on optimal die half-angle was conducted. Based on experimental data of optimal die half-angle, wire and inclusion deformations, drawing and hydrostatic stress of copper shaped-wires that contain an inclusion were calculated by two-dimensional fi...

The magnitude of changes in luminal hydrostatic pressure (DeltaP(L)), peritubular capillary hydrostatic pressure (DeltaP(PT)), and peritubular capillary colloid osmotic pressure (Deltapi) was determined in the Necturus kidney during volume expansion (VE). The specific effects of separate changes of each pressure parameter on proximal net sodium transport (J(Na)) were studied in isolated perfuse...

In the process of double-layer gas-assisted extrusion plastic micro-tubes, external size and surface quality micro-tubes are greatly affected by assisting gas inlet slit inside mold. Therefore, in this experiment, a two-phase flow model was established based on compressible non-compressible melt. The Polyflow finite element solution software module used to solve velocity field, temperature pres...

The aim of this paper was to investigate the influence Zn‐ and Se‐fortified wheat flour addition corn grits at 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 ratios on hardness, fracturability, expansion ratio, bulk density, color, sensory attributes extrudates. Extrusion performed three temperature profiles: 140/170/170 °C, 150/180/180 160/190/190 °C. With an increase in proportion Se‐ fortified increase, all obs...
